hi i been trying to block the in-video ads that come up every 15 minutes on www.locast.org
i installed adam:one assistant, and block every domain that comes up when im watching a video on the website, but even after that i still get the in video ads on this website when im streaming channels
any help or recommendation will be highly appreciate.
It is likely that the ads are being served from the same domains as the video. What domains are you seeing when you play a video from that site (a few examples)?
That looks like a DNSThingy/AdamOne dump. What are you specifically seeing in your /var/log/pihole.log when you play a video?
pihole -t and then open a video
sorry im very new to this i dont know how to get that information im using the gui to connect to pihole from a windows pc. (pihole -t) is that a terminal command you want me to use directly on the raspberry pi? or can i get that information from the gui
From the GUI > tools > tail pihole log ; this accomplishes the same as the terminal command pihole -t, but without the color coding for blocked domains.

Mar 24 22:02:42 dnsmasq[866]: reply www.wshifen.com is 104.193.88.123The source of the ads is one of these domains, none of which are blocked.
Should I add them to the Blacklist and see if it get rid of the ads or is there something else do do?
i block everything that show up when i open the website but no luck so far
i did that flush the DNS added the cdn.localcast.com to the block list but still the in video ad persist maybe someone with more knowledge can go to the website and see if is possible to block at all www.locast.org
